Acricem 5L

Acricem is a water-based acrylic resin (Component B) that acts as a binder in the preparation of Topciment two-component microcements: Sttandard, Natture, and Atlanttic. Its main function is to improve the workability, adhesion, water resistance, and mechanical strength of the microcement once dry. It can also be used as a primer to stabilize mineral substrates and ensure a good application base. This product is free from solvents, plasticizers, and ammonia, and is fully compatible with demanding environments.

Main features

• Improves internal cohesion of the mortar and flexibility of the coating.
• Increases the water resistance and mechanical strength of microcement.
• Reduces the risk of shrinkage cracking.
• Also functions as a primer on cement-based substrates.
• Water-based product, solvent-free and easy to apply.

Instructions for use

As Component B of microcement:

• Pour the required amount of Acricem resin into a clean container.
• Add pigment according to the desired ratio, mixing until a homogeneous color is obtained.
• Gradually add Component A (microcement powder) while mixing with a low-speed mixer.
• Mix for at least 4 minutes until a dense, homogeneous, lump-free paste is obtained.
• Let the mixture rest for a few minutes before application.

As a primer on substrate:

• The substrate must be clean, dry, stable, and free from grease, oil, or dust residues.
• Apply a thin, even layer of Acricem directly with a roller, brush, or sprayer.
• Let dry for 30 minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours before applying microcement.
• Do not apply if humidity or rain is expected before the product is fully dry.

Performance

• As a primer: ≈ 0.10 L/m², depending on the porosity of the substrate.
• As Component B: Depends on the type and quantity of microcement being mixed.
